China's Semiconductor Spending Tops US With $142B Commitment: Global Chip Race Heats Up
Portfolio Pulse from Natan Ponieman
China's commitment of $142B to semiconductor sovereignty highlights a global race in chip industry dominance, with the U.S. responding through the CHIPS Act, allocating billions in subsidies, loans, and tax breaks to bolster domestic production. U.S. companies like Micron Technology and Intel are set to benefit, while export restrictions target China's access to advanced semiconductor technology. The global effort includes significant investments from Europe, Japan, and India, aiming to secure chip supply chains and reduce dependency on foreign production.
